Are you ready to ditch the robotic way of life that revolves around what you think other people want? I think we all are. But it’s not always easy to get there, and sometimes that journey includes receiving resistance from the people you love most.

But when you choose what makes you happy, your life becomes a life that inspires others and in the end, everyone is happier for it (including you).

In this episode, you’ll learn the GRIT + GLITTER of:

Getting comfortable with the power to choose what makes you happy

Facing the crossroads of making other people happy versus yourself

Getting over the fear of choosing you

Sticking through unsupportive responses for the ultimate pay-off

Inspiring others by being true to your truest self

The Raw Truth of Lauren Frontiera:

“In trying to do and be the person that we think will make other people happy, ultimately no one ends up happy.”

“My to-do list became this measuring stick for my worth.”

“I started to believe that being more productive made me a better human being.”

“When we’re not choosing to be the person that makes us happiest, we become this dark shadow of ourselves.”

“We have the power to choose what makes us happy or we can choose to be powerless and do what we think will make everyone else happy.”

“Never settle for less than what makes you feel alive. Never give up your power to choose what makes you happy.”

“Most of the time, the decision that is best for you and everyone included is the hardest decision to follow through with.”
